The annoyance of how people are on social media regarding. well. the social aspect

One of the things that will always be very, very annoying on how "social media sucks" and how people talk about it. Maybe this is just me, but man, the way people talk about it tells me that they don't really know how to use it. Utilizing what social media gives you (the block button and ability to engage or not engage with things). I don't understand why not using it is now apparently a problem.

Now, this might be me and the fact that I use an ad blocker, so when I'm on pc (which is most of the time for social media) I never see stupid ads that Twitter has. I also don't understand how people get random shit on their for you pages when most of what I get are either my mutuals or things related to the fandom I'm in. I never get things I don't care about on it. I won't talk for things related to non-fandom spaces, since I am aware those are different, but even then it feels like people aren't doing what they are supposed to do to moderate their online experience. I wish some people put more care into that over complaining how social media is bad when they, in fact, have control over what they see, as long as they put a little bit of effort into maintaining it.
